For most people, life is made up of a rather mundane set of routines with fairly predictable outcomes. We find comfort in our routines but also relish the thrill of unexpected joys along the way. Perhaps that’s why we like inspirational quotes so much. They are like little poems with a punch. Tiny packets of truth that seem to reaffirm what we know while shaking us to reach beyond.

Can read a trail map, a music score, Chaucer, and a balance sheet. 1 part executive, 1 part entrepreneur, 2 parts geek, and 3 parts Dad. Love lime juice on chef salads and Rudy's BBQ sauce on my brisket.Some days I amaze myself. Other days I look for the phone while I'm still talking on it. On amazing days, I produce technical writing that helps people get things done.
